Ok, here they are cooked! Was it worth all the effort you ask? No, it was not. Although every little thing my husband cooked with them made the dish absolutely fantastic. If it weren't for his efforts I probably would have cried about the results. You know, they really weren't bad at all, it's just that all I could taste was the spelt. I love spelt and the nutty flavour it has, but I don't love it in a pierogi. The filling was great but the pocket just overpowered it. Ah well, live and learn, that's 6 hours I'll never spend making homemade pierogies again.
My husband boiled them and then fried them. He then fried some chopped onions, garlic, pancetta, savoy cabbage and dill, making the most amazing and delicious side ever. I think I enjoyed that more than the pierogies. Serve with sour cream.
On a side note, at least the spelt cookies turned out very yummy!

Sorry to hear about the perogies you slaved to create :(
Many a times I have poured my heart and soul into a new dish that I was extremely eager to try and share with friends or family. Only to find out upon the "taste test" it wasn’t what I expected and the tears start to fill my eyes,
Its one big kitchen adventure after another :)
If you’re looking for some good perogies check out the Warsaw Deli on Richmond Rd. The Sauerkraut and Meat are my fave!
REALLY? I'll have to do that!! I hate buying the generic ones at the grocery store. I wanted something with some "wow" factor to it. I'll definitely try these!
While there, they also sell authentic Polish cheesecake by the slice or whole..
nice! god, how come i haven't been to this place before?!
Somebody bought too much spelt this week!
it's like an obsession!
Yoo should try perogies from "Perogies Take out " in Ottawa!
Best Perogies ever!

thanks, I will! I bought some last week at the Warsaw Deli that Brittany recommended. I haven't had them yet. I'll have to try both and compare!
